Mary Berry's Country House Secret: Poor Mary looks frozen, so it’s lucky Roddy has come prepared with a hip flask of whisky

Trailer for 'Mary Berry's Country House Secrets' which explores some of the nation's most beloved stately homes

Mary (right) never ceases to astonish us. While taking a tour of Scone Palace, just outside Perth in Scotland, the 82 year old agrees to a salmon fishing trip aboard a tiny boat on the River Tay.

Even Scone’s owner, the Earl of Mansfield, remarks: “She’s very brave when you consider she’s decidedly older than 21!”

And that’s not the only example of Mary being game for anything – she also tries her hand at a bit of Highland deer stalking.

Suitably attired head to toe in tweed, Mary joins William, the future Earl of Mansfield, and Scone’s gamekeeper Roddy, in a hunt, lying down in the heather-covered hills to get a glimpse of the creatures.
